See why families choose Earth

Earth Funeral's highly professional staff was sensitive, professional, and discreet. What's more, they kept us in the loop at every step of the process. They offer a great alternative to the traditional burial or cremation route. Also, their fees were extremely reasonable compared to the competition. Best of all, they made no attempt to up-sell us at any point. If you prefer no nonsense, do yourself a favor and give them a closer look.

When my husband entered hospice, we knew we had to make a lot of decisions. Neither of us was comfortable with traditional options. Daughter googled "green burials" and found that Earth Funeral offered a gentle process way more consistent with his belief that we are all part of nature and the continuum of life. He loved being in forests and it brings me some peace knowing that we can truly be together someday nurturing new life. The staff were all professional and kind.

My husband wanted to be composted because he didn't want to add a huge amount of carbon from cremation and didn't want to be buried. He will be scattered to nurture our bamboo stand he loved. The process was easy, the staff compassionate and respectful, and his remains were returned more quickly than I had expected.

First was the tour, it was delivered well and the rep. answered all our questions. As for the process itself, it was easy and quick.

Because the staff has been so professional and Nicole Smith has been completely helpful and responsive to all our questions. .

We were looking for something eco-friendly and philosophically aligned with my late husband’s personal commitment to the planet and the outdoors. Earth Funeral was slightly more costly than a conventional cremation, but absolutely worth every penny. Not only did we get the promised result and final rest in a nature preserve, but everyone from Earth Funeral was 100% supportive and attentive from minute one. We had some personal circumstances that the team also accommodated in the most respectful and caring manner possible. I cannot recommend Earth Funeral highly enough.

Process was explained well in a dignified manner. Customer Service was amazing- answering all my questions and making the sign up process easy.

I live in the Silicon Valley CA. There are a lot of people looking for places to live. It does not make any sense while live people need living spaces, and the dead ones occupy 6' each of the earth. Although U. C. Berkeley developed a technology which turns bodies into pure water, but the earth already has 80% of the water. It is the soil that needs help. It's time to pay back to the mother nature whose soil has been nurturing us.

Earth took the utmost care with Dad’s final arrangements. We knew where he was during each stage of the process. The Earth team quickly coordinated his transport to a facility capable of performing the soil transformation. It was a blessing to know that Dad did not linger endlessly at the county morgue. When an issue arose regarding personal items we believed Dad would have had in his immediate possession at the time of his passing, Amelia worked with us until we were able to recover his final effects. The Earth team’s respectful demeanor, regular updates, and the transformed soil created from our loved one’s remains truly made us feel that we had chosen the right place to coordinate Dad’s final arrangements. Beyond the Earth team’s exceptional personal touch, the environmental appeal of posthumous soil transformation—and the profound meaning our family finds in turning previous generations into nutritive soil to support the next generation’s ecology—resonates more deeply with us than traditional burial or cremation. The soil containers we elected to receive arrived promptly and were packed in ecologically friendly materials, in keeping with Earth’s pro-nature and environmentally beneficial mission. Dad wanted to be reunited with the Earth when he passed, and we can’t think of a better way to have honored his wish.

I chose 10 because the person I worked with was exceedingly helpful in answering all of my questions and explaining the process to me. Very consumer oriented. Also, I live my life mindful of the environment and support many organizations that help in those efforts. What a great last gift to give the earth!

The Earth Funeral pre-planning process was straightforward and easy to complete and well-priced. This topic had been on my mind for 20 years and I'm so grateful to have access to an environmentally responsible option. I chose earth after a friend had a positive experience with a family member. They were met with complete compassion and find solace in the garden they have in remembrance of their loved one.

Chris Coble is so nice to work with and answers all your questions

I have been very happy with my decision and will be visiting the site soon. I have made others aware of the service and there's interest!

I thought the whole process sounded so natural. We visited your facility in Las Vegas and we're very impressed.

Most people don't thank about burial options until the very end of life, and then we start to think of what happens to our loved one's body. When I studied the body composting option, it seemed by far to be the most simple and respectful way of treating the body--and our kids all agreed!

From beginning to end, the experience was caring, thoughtful and easy... what a great way to honor loved ones!

The terramation process aligned with our values of giving back and we liked that it was not harmful to the earth. Amanda Ettaki was great throughout the process and answered all questions with sympathy and care.

I think more people should consider the benefits of what Earth Funeral has to offer. They were very good about informing us about the process at every step of the way. Although I wasn't there when they picked up my mom from her home, I heard about it from my step father. He said the pick-up team was very sensitive, professional, and discreet.

My family and I chose Earth when my husband died suddenly. We’re all feel really good about our choice. It was so hard for us to lose Don, but gives us some peace to feel like he continues to nurture the earth. I tell everyone about it and how cool it is.

We believe Earth is a responsible way to return to return dust to dust. We have shared our plans with some people, but leave it to them to decide if they want explore Earth as an option.

Great idea, maybe this will help with maintaining a healthy planet. All the other alternatives seem like such a waste, even selfish. Great people to talk with and set up was easy.

Thought this was a good option for me, cost, worked with good people, no BS.

My wife and I were very impressed with the staff and the attention paid to our needs. We were able to see your operation and how detailed the procedure is. Also liked the level of input you are open to regarding customizing.

So far no reason not to. So far very pleased with my choice.

Great environmental option over cremation.

Makes sense , fairly priced, giving back to the earth instead of taking up space and leaving behind toxic chemicals

Appreciated the informative webinar and discounted price. Could picture the process much better and it felt like the right choice for me

It took a while for my wife and I to decide on Earth and the company people were helpful, patient and answered all our questions. The process of signing up and completing the "paperwork" was easy and very smooth from start to finish. In just a few days the actual documents were delivered.

All interactions were informative and very pleasantly managed.

My wife was actively investigating a composting alternative upon her demise. We both read information about Earth Funeral and attended their webinar. It sold the both of us and we went ahead with the purchase. We were pleasantly surprised at the low cost and comprehensive services provided and feel we reached the goal of an environmentally positive burial..The process also eliminates any burden to our children to deal with funeral arrangements. Plus the people we interacted with at Earth Funeral were first class and answered all our questions. Highly recommend.

Everything was explained well, all questions were answered to our satisfaction and the price was right.

I believe the idea has great appeal and I am very happy with my choice!

Losing my husband has been a very emotional time for me. Earth was a process we had heard about years ago, but it was not available in California. He was a outdoors man, fishing and camping. I'm going to take him to his favorite places. My husband would be very happy. Everyone at Earth has been very professional and helpful. Thank you for being with me during this process.

Easy to set up. The process makes sense. The money is held in a life insurance policy that is set up online. We literally give back to the earth with zero CO2 emissions.

This was James final wish and it was a beautiful process in which the representatives of Earth took special care of him and his remains. The soil is beautiful and I'm grateful James was processed with care

I spoke to Chris 3 times before committing. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. Chris was patient, understanding & very knowledgeable.

I have already told many friends and family members about Earth funeral. The process sounds uncomplicated and also quite reasonable.

The process resonates with my love of nature. I spoke to Chris 3 times before making a decision. I never felt rushed or pressured. Chris was patient, understanding & extremely knowledgeable. Just delightful to talk to even although our topic of conversation was s difficult one.

So far I haven't needed the service but enrollment was straightforward.

It's a sensible and affordable idea. We literally give back to the earth

My experience with Earth was wonderful from start to finish. This process was new to me, and I was admittedly skeptical, but my family and I are now extremely grateful. Highly recommended.

Least expensive, very easy to sign up, great follow through on your part, It seems like you have all your ducks in a row.

It is an easy and smooth process for our family members to handle that part of our passing, the pricing was very reasonable compared to other similar businesses we researched, the staff was very professional, friendly, and answered all of our questions to our complete satisfaction. Earth funeral had the best explanation of the process and positive reasons for choosing soil transformation than the other similar businesses, which also makes it easy for us to refer Earth funeral to our family members and friends.

An extraordinary alternative to traditional burial, but also a marvelous company to work with. The value of the service cannot be overstated: for a fraction of a traditional burial, you are contributing to an environmentally sound and meaningful disposition of your remains. The pre-paid rate includes repatriation from anywhere in the world, which is a remarkable benefit. Staff were thoughtful, well informed, and with zero pressure. . .which is understandable, since the service sells itself. I hope that many others will choose this option when making their plans.

I am very pleased to have found Earth Funeral. I have been wanting to have this set-up for myself and my wife before our passing so my children would not have to go through the stress and the cost of the funeral arrangements. Usually in these circumstances the family during their mourning are left making difficult decisions. I feel during those times the family members making the arrangements are easily taking advantage of by the funeral home in cost. It is good to be in control of that. Also, no footprint is left by casket burials or cremation vaults. The personnel at Earth Funeral are so pleasant to deal with and get right back to you if you leave a message. They are willing to answer all questions, set up tours of the process and layout exactly how the deceased is transported from anywhere in the world back home. Just wonderful to have a service such as Earth Funeral to make this time in our lives, that we will all experience, friendly to our environment. It is a peaceful feeling knowing that your passing will not disturb or take away the beauty of this land for those still living to enjoy and appreciate. Respectfully, Ron Anderson 03/12/2025

I truly believe that the least energy used and the least land taken for my remains is a very good thing. Very happy and the price seems the best. And the company seems to follow thru!!

I have not needed the service but it is paid for, hence, I chose 9. The registration process is straightforward although it would have been nice to know that the process included an insurance policy for the companies benefit.

I was so pleased with their accessibility and communication. Everyone I interacted with was kind, thoughtful and professional. I felt that my friend was treated with such love and care.

Great inexpensive "burial" and environmentally positive

I've been looking for an AFFORDBLE Green burial option. Earth Funeral has what I was looking for: no burial plot to buy, no funeral expenses, a way that my body can feed the earth as compost. The options of embalming and cremation use chemicals and too much energy and I am concerned about the future of our precious Earth's survival if I use these 2 methods. This company is very thorough and easy to work with. A very pleasant staff and professional.

Good for you. Good for Earth. Very informative and helpful staff. Peace of mind for person and for family.

I’m happy to be a participant and have my last wishes be honored. The Earth team has been a pleasure to work with and has provided me the information to make the best decision for my final resting place.

I liked the idea of compost MUCH better than cremation or burial. Earth has a superb website which guided me effortlessly through the enrollment process.

Very helpful, respect and futuristic vision

Tremendous value for an environmentally friendly burial.

I like the idea of compost MUCH more than cremation or burial. Once the decision was made, the Earth website made it very easy to make the arrangements. Congratulations on an excellent website.

I have already shared general information and a link to your web site with some folks who are concerned about the environment, and have told them that the information is just for their knowledge of an additional and environmentally sound option for their end-of-life arrangements.

Service was excellent. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and compassionate.

Hands down, Rho Hudson, gave our family the very best Earth presentation, making it more than what we expected! She was knowledgeable, personable, and answered all of our questions without making us feel rushed. Rho is definitely an asset to Earth. You can tell she loves her job and believes in Earth's process and principles. Thank you, Rho, for sharing Earth with our family and for putting up with us and our crazy antics. 🙏🥰 Lisa Rosselli & Family

If you really care about the environment, check out the Earth option for dealing with your final remains. Anyone who regularly composts will resonate with this.

Cost, Easy arrangement, Less stress on family to deal through, It's done 👍..

We were updating our trust and realized that we no longer liked the idea of cremation. Earth Funeral came up in Google for soil transformation. With great email communication, a friendly phone call and an estimate online, within two weeks, our kids have been informed and our plans are in place. The kids all think it's a great idea! It's better for our planet too!
